Kate Acland: U.S. removes 15% tariff on NZ beef exports

Earlier this year, the United States imposed a 15% tariff on a range of New Zealand exports, most notably beef. 

It was a huge blow, as beef is a major export for New Zealand - especially to the States. The tariffs have cost the country over $300 million since they were introduced in April.
